That will work great until the first time a state that would have given their votes to a Democratic candidate based on how their state voted has to give them to a Republican. The people in that state would and should shit a brick.

The biggest problem with the electoral college as it stands now is that House reps are artificially capped much lower than what they should be, which is why you feel that small and rural states have too much say. You get rid of that cap and I think most legitimate complaints would vanish.

They’re called Libertarians.

A bump stock doesn’t convert a semi-auto into an automatic. It simply takes advantage of physics to pull the trigger faster than most humans might be able to. The funny thing is, you can accomplish the same effect with rubber bands or a thumb and a handy belt loop.

I guarantee, if Democrats make impeaching Trump their hill to die on instead of focusing on actually beating him, we will without a doubt see a second term from Trump. Sometimes it’s worth it to be right and still lose. Even though I don’t think there’s any Democratic candidate I particularly like, this is not the…

I mean if you have to choose between an incompetent fascist and a competent one, you always choose the incompetent one. They’ll more often than not get in their own way as much as be stymied by those politically aligned against them.

Unfortunately many people do not understand the difference between impeachment and conviction in the Senate. But given the other things many people think about how civics in our nation either does or should work, this is unsurprising.

Oh yes, nobody should ever have to move somewhere they don’t want or do anything they don’t want to do. Truly, an intelligent and mature take.

Dude, your thirsty troll routine is what’s boring. It’s not even entertaining.

I had to bury two lovely kitties of mine in the backyard of our house, but I also build a cairn of stones over top of where I buried them to hopefully mitigate any issues with something trying to dig them up. This also helps with not forgetting where I buried them.

The problem isn’t that a free market system isn’t capable of producing health care outcomes that can provide a better benefit at a cheaper price, it’s that what we currently have is only a free market system under the barest of examinations and loosest of definitions. The way hospitals, insurance, and pharmaceutical…

I did, I just don’t think you can infer that getting rid of most legal guns did anything except reduce gun deaths. The nice thing about truisms is that they’re true. They don’t tell the whole story however. If you got rid of most legal cars, you’d reduce vehicular deaths by a large amount too. Given that guns were…

You know it’s a good troll account when it’s just as unaware of Hillary Clinton’s failings as she is herself.

Fine, because the purpose of the Senate is not to directly represent the voters but to represent the states themselves as an entire body politic. Hence why originally senators were not directly elected but rather appointed by their home states. We have a body that represents the voters directly, the House of…

A tyranny of the majority is no better a solution. The Electoral College is not perfect, but at least in theory it is supposed to moderate the positions candidates take in order to appeal to the broadest number of people possible. Does it always work this way? No, especially not when in what might have well been the…

Letting California and New York decide which Democrat is going to be president every four years is hardly better. I highly doubt you’d be in favor of abolishing the Electoral College if it meant Republicans were going to win in perpetuity. It’s not perfect, but there’s hardly a better system for (in theory) forcing…

The problem here is that there’s no such thing as a national town square. Twitter allows for the closest digital approximation of it. Trump, AOC, and Rep Omar have proven just how vital Twitter has become to real time engagement and discourse with the electorate. And right now companies like Twitter and Facebook want…

Court packing is a terrible idea, and once you let that genie out of the bottle, it never ends. If there’s a legitimate concern with reforming the Supreme Court, I’d be more for ending de facto lifetime appointments, with the option of re-confirmation at the end of a term. So say pick a term longer than any one…

I’m not willfully misrepresenting anything, in fact I’m rather taking the piss out of their argument, as it were. Leftists insist that you cannot be racist against white people because racism is always about power, because to them every interaction you ever have with anyone is about who has power. That they make no…

Nah, gonna have to do better than that bro.
